It was more than likely x86 and the AIX would have been AIX PS/2 (which I did a lot of work on at the time). The IBM Microkernel project (which I helped start) was the only way that OS/2 ran on PPC. OS/2 was an OS personality on top of the microkernel and all of its services. We also had a UNIX running as a personality too. My memory has faded too much at this point and but I also believe that there was MVM personality to allow DOS/Windows to run too. TTFN - Guy
